Like 130 - 140 Gr and 2217/ Reloder 22

sorry probably didn't make it clear, ive just under 200 90gr HPBT Gamekings and just under 100 Bonded 100gr Scirocco's with a shortened barrel, 4 inches shorter, with a 1/10 twist so im trying to make it work with what i have. also can you tell me what brand your using and your rate of twist on your rifle to help stabilise those rounds?

@Moa Hunter thanks the 90gr would not be for what i would call big game, but i did see that sierra did give their "hunting load" with IMR 4831 achieving 3100 in the 117 - 120 range?

I use Reloader 22 56 grs 120 speer btsp (about the best for BC) in 21.5" barrel. Does around the 3000fps at reasonable pressures.
